Trick or Treat

[nomacmac.livejournal.com]

FYI-Some Somerville school kids will have "trick or treat for Unicef" boxes.  Keep your pocket change close by if you want to contribute.

Also, a plea from the parent of a Panda, a Lego and an indecisive 4 yr old.   If you want trick-or-treaters, please leave a porch light on. If you want to be extra neighborly and awesome, add a sign to your door or doorbell.  With 2 family houses, it is very tricky to figure out who wants trick-or-treaters and who doesn't!

Ah! Thanks for the unicef reminder! I always forget to bring change downstairs with me.

I'm hiding, personally.

We don't have a porch light. I'm considering getting one installed just for trick-or-treaters, because a lot of them dutifully skip our house!

[ETA: But I can definitely do a sign.]

We got one of those cheap plastic pumpkins and if we're home we leave it out with a flashlight inside it.

What time do kids usually start coming around? (We just moved, and our previous place was a trick-or-treat dead zone.)

We usually start around 5:30.

i haven't gotten trick-or-treaters the past couple years - i might have gotten home from work too late, but now i'm unemployed and home, so on the off chance i do get some kids, thanks for the unicef reminder! i have lots of quarters. :D

Thanks for the Unicef info! I'll make sure to have some change on hand.

We sit out on the porch all evening with our bowl of candy, on Halloweens when we can be home. I'm so glad trick-or-treating is still customary in some places. I have so many happy memories of it from (eeek!) 40 years ago!

Just moved to the Ball Square area this year, and really hoping we get trick-or-treaters! Thanks for the tips!

I did a sign one year that I didn't have any candy (my upstairs neighbors did, hence the need for a sign). Didn't work. Bell rang all night long.
